\title Supported Platforms
\brief The platforms supported by Nokia for Qt.
\ingroup platform-specific
The Qt team strives to provide support for the platforms most
frequently used by Qt users. We have designed our internal testing procedure to
divide platforms into three test categories (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) in order
to prioritize internal testing and development resources so that the most
frequently used platforms are subjected to our most rigorous testing processes.
Qt is supported on a variety of 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and can
usually be built on each platform with GCC, a vendor-supplied compiler, or
a third party compiler. Although Qt may be built on a range of platform-compiler
combinations, only a subset of these are actively supported by Nokia.
\tableofcontents
Information about the specific platforms Qt runs on can be found on the
\l{Platform Notes} page. Information about the compilers used on each platform
can be found on the \l{Compiler Notes} page.
\section1 Tier 1 Platforms
All Tier 1 platforms are subjected to our unit test suite and other internal
testing tools on a frequent basis (prior to new version releases, source tree
branching, and at other significant period points in the development process).
Errors or bugs discovered in these platforms are prioritized for correction
by the development team. Significant errors discovered in Tier 1 platforms can
impact release dates and Qt Development Frameworks strives to resolve all known
high priority errors in Tier 1 platforms prior to new version releases.

\section1 Tier 2 Platforms
Tier 2 platforms are subjected to our unit test suite and other internal testing
tools prior to release of new product versions. Qt users should note, however,
that errors may be present in released product versions for Tier 2 platforms and,
subject to resource availability, known errors in Tier 2 platforms may or may not
be corrected prior to new version releases.

\section1 Tier 3 Platforms (Not supported by Nokia)
All platforms not specifically listed above are not supported by Nokia. Nokia does
not run its unit test suite or perform any other internal tests on platforms not
listed above.
Even though some Tier 3 platforms are available under the Qt Commercial License,
technical support is not included in that license.
However, \l{How to Order}{contact our sales team} to find out about the
availability of other services for those platforms.
Qt users should note, however, that there may be various open source
projects, community users and/or Qt partners who are able to provide assistance with
platforms not supported by Nokia.
\section1 General Legal Disclaimer
Please note that Qt is offered on an "as is" basis without warranty
of any kind and that our products are not error or bug free. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, Nokia on behalf of itself and its suppliers, disclaims all

\section1 Planned Changes for Qt 4.7
The following changes to the list of supported platforms are at time of publishing
planned for Qt 4.7:
\list
\o Upgrade Windows 7 to Tier 1
\o Upgrade Mac OS X 10.6 to Tier 1
\o Add support for Visual Studio 2010 (Tier 2)
\o Move support for Carbon implementation of Qt on Mac OS X from Tier 1 to Tier 2
\o Drop support for MinGW 3.4
\o Drop support for Visual Studio 2003
\o Drop support for HP-UX on PA-RISC
